Question

How did economics help with European imperialism in Africa? *in your own words please*

Answer 1

Radical desire in Africa were supported by the extension of serious exchange Europe. The fundamental point was to get business and exchange joins with African social orders and shield those connections from other European contenders. Europe set up exchange relations with African rulers and urged them to exchange with them solely. European brokers were from the outset not keen on venturing into the inside of Africa. As long as African rulers assured them of a supply of slaves from the interior, they felt no need to expand into the interior. The rapid expansion of industries made European countries look to African for a supply of cheap raw materials and slave labour. West Africa was particularly important for the development of industries in Europe. The production of African palm oil used as industrial oil was in high demand for European industries.
